Returning to Java, I have installed the one from the Sun web site. It is an rpm with a wrapper that allows them to force you to sign something. Then it installs something but it must be incomplete.
I want java so I can load jedit so I can write to the wiki at the Fedora Doc's site. It is supposed to be simple. The jedit site said do this:
$ jar jedit4.3pre12install.jar
but alas there is no active jar on my Fedora. Earlier Fedora it worked but on F8 it doesn't.
What have I done wrong?
I don't know what you did wrong. But on my F8 system I did install Sun's jdk (jdk-6u3-linux-i586.rpm) and there is /usr/bin/jar.
I looked and no /usr/bin/jar but there is a /usr/bin/java which lead to gij which seems to work but not. It did this:
[karl@k5di Desktop]$ gij jedit4.3pre12install.jar Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: jedit4.3pre12install.jar at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.8rh) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: jedit4.3pre12install.jar not found in gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader{urls=[file:./], parent=gnu.gcj.runtime.ExtensionClassLoader{urls=[], parent=null}} at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(libgcj.so.8rh) at gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader.findClass(libgcj.so.8rh) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(libgcj.so.8rh) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(libgcj.so.8rh) at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.8rh) [karl@k5di Desktop]$
It appears that the jedit file may be bad.
Geeze

Karl,
If you are doing a default x86 Sun JDK install, you will find the distributables in /usr/java/jdk.../bin directory. If you are using Java 6 then you should also see /usr/java/default and /usr/java/latest symlinks pointing to the Java6 directory.
You could add /usr/java/default/bin to your path (either by modifying /etc/profile file, or in any other file that you use to setup your environment)
Now, you should be able to run whatever command that you wanted to run: java -jar XYZ.jar
HTH, Rogue
Hi Rogue, I would never guessed the above. Turns out you need to be using a root login. But I have the jEdit installed but now reading the man page to see how to do it :-)
Thank you so much. I was sure that having no /usr/bin/jar meant I did something wrong. But the new stuff takes new ways. Thanks a lot!
Karl
